In this our tenth broadcast, we will be discussing the scandals that sadly have become associated wiith Marie-Antoinette's name. I once ran across an article entitled Top 5 Marie-Antoinette Scandals which was filled with errors. What an incredibly misleading portrayal of the Queen! Marie-Antoinette, in spite of being from a generation known for its fast pace of living, did not live in a manner which gave public scandal. There is no evidencefor an affair with Count Fersen. As for diamond necklace fiasco, she was the innocent victim, not the cause.
